A Series of Fortunate Events
My dear friend,
I woke today to hear of news that will forever stain my heart. Shocked, I felt the breath rip from my core, and heard it as it lay beside me engulfing me in unending coldness. As I lay in my bed still for hours, I couldn't even begin to concentrate hard enough to cry. I curl up in my blanket shifting around trying to cause some friction that will warm me in this empty moment. This does no good, for what I felt then, and still feel at this very moment is beyond what physical actions can cure. When finally I conjured the strength and spirit to rise from bed I found myself walking around aimlessly, taking each step and wondering where the next will lead. Lost........
After hours and hours of reflection I sit here thinking of all we did, and all that we could have done. Also I cannot help but think of how I could have made each and every one of those moments better. Wondering to myself did I do all that can to be all that I could to you. The last several years we may not have been in touch as much as I would have liked, and I sit here now regretting that. I apologize to you friend, for I should have made more attempts to reunite our most epic of friendships.
I will remember you as a true professional in life. The best at all in which you did. Inspiring me then, and inspiring me now. Today I thought hard about how you handled every situation, flawlessly and with just the right touch of aggression. My life has changed a lot since the days we used to walk around work convincing people we were related, spending all night playing poker, or just taking the dogs to the beach. You helped me through a patch in my life when I felt like I had no one else. You were there no matter what, your words of wisdom seemed to pave a path in my brain and truly made me feel like all was well and will be well.
My hands shake as I write this because I don't feel I let you know of the impact you made in my life. I pray that you hear me now, I pray that you hear us all. There are so many of us here today that love you and will forever love you. Rest in peace my dearest of friends, may you fly with the most beautiful of angels.
And lastly to Dawn, you yourself are an angel. You shine a beacon of light, so bright that it reaches the heavens. As that light shines it guides Jona to you. His love for you is more powerful than any wind or any ocean. He will forever be with you, as the both of you will forever be in my heart.
To you, for you, with you,
always your friend Vito.
